Credit Card, by themightyreds on Oct 11, 2007 11:01:59 GMT 1, Credit cards are useful in a lot of ways but can all too easily get out of control very quickly... Like you CBL, i too have a (big) bit of a loan outstanding to pay off still - i see the monthly debit for it as reminder to not let it happen again!

On another topic, it's nice to not have a billion pieces of junk mail rammed through the letter box every morning...!

9/11 inside job?, by themightyreds on Oct 6, 2007 11:42:01 GMT 1, There's lots more questions than there are answers about all of this... What about the hijacked plane that was reported on live TV by the Major of Cincinatti (i think) to have landed at the airport there that day? And if it did where are all the civilian passengers now? What actually hit the pentagon - i just don't buy it that it was a commercial airliner.... And why did the other world trade tower collapse - tower number 7? ( www.wtc7.net )
I'll go one further than wildbill and suggest the US were in cahoots with the people that carried out these attacks, maybe even orchestrating it all for some further purpose that includes oil and a whole lot more.

Digital Cameras, by themightyreds on Oct 6, 2007 12:30:41 GMT 1, If you can stretch to it go for one of the new consumer D-SLR's (Canon 400 or Nikon D40x). Can't recommend them enough for image quality.

The Art of customer service, by themightyreds on Oct 6, 2007 16:51:12 GMT 1, Wot 'Joe Public' has to wake up to is that the days of 'licking arse' to get that sale are well and truly over. We have something you want, then you buy it. The fashion scene is like the art scene, If you dont want someone else will.
As a buyer (customer) by profession you speak from a strange position, but I get your point that Joe Public won't get a ring-tickler from a shop assistant over a pair of socks. Sometimes though, regardless of what's being sold for however much money its just good service thats required.
I go back to my original post and say that if i get done-over by a shop or business i will never return. Simple.

The Art of customer service, by themightyreds on Oct 6, 2007 16:08:23 GMT 1, Get a life guys! Im a buyer for a mens designer boutique and I guess im a part of wot some of you would consider the 'Look down ur nose' types. Customer service has changed over the years and I dont belive its jus the companies which are to blame. The consumer has to except some of the responsibility too. The above quotes go to show that even the respectable lookin 'Art Collectors' cant even be trusted. How can we give a great customer service when lets face it, some of the customers aint that great. Its that handfull of people who f**k us over leave us to assume that all could. 'Service' to a point, goes both ways. Get over yourselves. This says it all about the state of customer services today in our wonderful nation i'm afraid... you assume all customers could f**k you over because of a handful that do, so then its ok to treat all these consumers (the very people that provide you with your job buying mens designer boutique clothing) like dirt is it? Wake up mate.

The Art of customer service, by themightyreds on Oct 6, 2007 10:40:44 GMT 1, I keep a list of all shops/businesses that screw me over and NEVER go back there once they've got on my wrong side. I also try and let friends, family, work colleagues know that they too might get shoddy service from there in the hope that they will also avoid them in future if at all possible. Not much on an individual scale, but if everyone kept to this way of dealing with bad service soon enough companies with bad practices would start to notice where it matters and either go bust or change.
I did start to write a list of examples to post here but it sounded way too moany for this early on a saturday morning...
Suffice to say that nowadays it is all too frequent to get a bad experience as a customer, and i think that if you are spending your hard-earned money on anything you have the right to stand-up for yourself and make a fuss about it if you're not happy. This is one area where americans have got things sorted - go into nearly any shop over there (although not digital camera shops in tourist areas...) and the staff are almost too helpful.
I was always taught that good manners don't cost you a thing but are worth a lot.

What's your proudest non art achievement?, by themightyreds on Sept 28, 2007 23:20:45 GMT 1, CrackaWacka, for sure i miss all the clubbing too - last time i hit it hard was last year at the closing parties in Ibiza - the Cocoon one with Mr Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos was heavy heavy... Have to say that the best times before that were at the Sonar festival.. used to go every year... awesome.

What's your proudest non art achievement?, by themightyreds on Sept 28, 2007 10:07:45 GMT 1, danvnuk - definitely a +1 for giving up the tabs! I'd forgotten that i used to smoke a pack a day too (plus 40-odd a night when out boozing ;D ) but managed to stop that about 5 years ago now, although i did have a helping hand when giving up in the form of an illness that prevented me from moving without total, excruciating pain for well over a week... Didn't like it at the time, and its a funny thing to say now but i'm very glad i got ill when i did!!
